romney. and i think they did it very fine job at it. i think it's part what romney campaign is trying to reposition itself and trying to move forward on. >> the obama campaign did a masterful job too before we go there. >> a lot more money. >> i think -- [inaudible] what percentage do you think of the cross odes and gps ads the federal, the nonpresidential. you think will be comparative? have some element of positive to it? >> well, glsh did or do at a date. that's an excellent question. because we can't -- because outside groups can't coordinate. i think it's interest farring class like this. outside groups can't coordinate with candidates and party committee for television ads it means the candidate can't star in the ads. right. we could go mitt romney event and film romney footage. would we getting the same things the news crew get. we can't shoot an ad of romney talks to the call are a why he'll be the best president. what it does is the anticoordination laws they almost make all the outs

they play the race card so often that it's lost, they said john mccain was a racist and mitt romney, every conservative was racist so when the real thing came along in the form of the old rate, which was clearly empowered and encouraged by the trump campaign the left was out of ammunition and folks on the right had become numb to it but here's the moral test. are they part of our tent? is it part of the conservative movement? william f buckley drew a line and said society needed to be excommunicated from the movement because they were too extreme, they were crackpots and he successfully did it. if you made place for these conspiracy theory whack jobs and said that dwight eisenhower was a communist movement you would discredit yourself but we don't have anyone who has the ability to say listen, we have to draw the line. what happened was we had a conservative movement that turned a blind eye. i'm not saying this is true of everyone but we turned it blind eye to conspiracy theorists and people who traffic. pretty much all of us. i tried to push back on some of the stuff. >> donald trum
